Golden Flowers Poland develops modern vending machines for the floristry and retail sectors. We have created a mobile application for the client to manage flower vending machines and monitor sales, stock levels and machine performance across various locations. This tool streamlines the day-to-day operation of the machines and gives owners full control over their business via their mobile phones.

About the project
The aim of the project was to create an app that simplifies the management of Golden Flowers vending machines and supports the day-to-day operation of machines operating on a 24/7 basis. The solution allows owners and operators to monitor product availability in real time, check the freshness of the range, analyse sales and remotely check the status of the vending machines. As a result, the device management process becomes faster, more predictable and less reliant on manual checks in the field.
In addition to the app, we also create and develop software for the flower vending machines themselves, constantly expanding the system with features tailored to the client’s business and operational needs.

Challenges in the project
1
Managing a distributed network of devices and a product range that requires constant monitoring
The main challenge was to create a tool that would allow operators to monitor multiple flower vending machines in different locations from a single location. When selling fresh produce, it is essential not only to check availability, but also to keep a close eye on stock levels, quality and when goods need to be replaced. This conclusion is drawn from the publicly described scope of the application and the operating model of Golden Flowers.
2
Reducing manual intervention and speeding up operational response times.
The second challenge was to minimise the need for the owner or staff to physically check the status of each machine. The app had to translate data from the machines into clear status updates, notifications and a schedule of tasks, so that staff could respond more quickly and plan restocking more effectively. This is also a solution based on publicly communicated features: alerts, reports and remote management.
Key benefits
For system users
- The owner of a florist’s shop or the operator of a flower vending machine gains a real-time overview of what is happening in the machines without the need for constant on-site checks. They can more quickly check product availability, stock levels and freshness, and decide whether to restock or replace the goods.
- Thanks to automatic notifications, sales reports and product popularity statistics, users can plan their stock more effectively, minimise stock-outs and reduce the risk of losses on fresh produce. The public description of the app does not specify any particular KPIs, but clearly states that the solution is designed to save time, improve efficiency and maximise profits.
- When there are multiple devices in different locations, the ability to manage them remotely becomes particularly important. This benefit allows you to scale your business without a corresponding increase in manual operational tasks.
For our client
- The app enhances Golden Flowers’ offering not only as a manufacturer of vending machines, but also as a provider of a comprehensive ecosystem for managing a vending business. This enables the company to offer its customers not just the equipment itself, but also a digital tool to support the day-to-day operation and expansion of their vending networks. This naturally increases the value of the overall solution.
- From a business perspective, Golden Flowers gains a product that meets the demands of scale: multiple machines, multiple locations and the need for ongoing quality control of the product range. The solution supports a 24/7 sales model and helps the brand stand out in the modern vending machine market.
